Municipal Workers’ Day Prompts Monday Asueto in Several Argentine Cities

Municipal autonomy is driving Monday transfers of the break that prompt residents to check service advisories.

Overview

  • Argentina marks Municipal Workers’ Day on November 8, a date tied to the 1959 founding of COEMA.
  • Because the observance falls on a Saturday this year, some jurisdictions are moving the administrative rest to Monday, November 10, resulting in uneven service schedules.
  • Buenos Aires Province is maintaining an asueto for provincial employees, and the earlier national removal of the June 27 state-worker break does not extend to municipalities.
  • La Plata and Mar del Plata confirmed the Monday transfer, as did Tandil by Decree 2871/2025 and General Alvarado by Decree 2504/2025.
  • Gualeguaychú announced that transfer centers and the municipal Ecopark will not operate on Monday, and residents are advised to consult official local channels for service updates.
